Ok, CP2077 + Xpac is bought.
Now to decide if I want to continue my library consolidation with Mass Effect Legendary and Dragon Age 2.

August if Baldur.
September is Starfield.

My wishlist regulars (like Teenage Exocolonist, Cassette Beasts or Dredge) will have to wait, at 20-30% off I'm not a charity. Too bad.

Just add your whole wishlist to the cart and purchase it.
You’ll finally be free.

It's the opposite, half of my wishlist is stuff I don't have the heart to delete, the other can wait for better sales. I'm realizing I already have what I want (most CRPGs) or it's dropping soon.

Thanks Alextended for your input earlier.

Quoting myself here to see if there are any further opinions (posted so late in the old thread)

Does anyone here have any opinion on Mechwarrior 5? I've been having a blast with BattleTech lately, and it got me interested in the other series.

Insta-dropped Blasphemous. Tried in English. Tried in awkward and dubiously translated French. Nope. I don't understand a single word that comes out of NPC. Feels like a parody of Dark Souls writing. I can't.
I'm already tired of Miyazaki writing style, but it feels far worse. No I won't look for the Mother of Mother of Churches, nor the place carved by the wailing that is in a bell, I just don't give a fuck. I don't understand you people.
I launch a spell made from the song of a forsaken village and just found a finger, that goes in my collection tab and does zilch.

Put another way, there is METAL, and there is NONSENSE.

Nice ^^. This month I enter the 4th decade
I like to play the same as when I was a kid and I hope to continue playing when I'm 80
This is the 4th year I changed my life and started doing what I love -it was the end of 2018-. My only regret is not leaving my old job sooner and not moving 12 years earlier.

On topic I had to call for a refund via PayPal for a cdkeys code. (It's been immediate, kudos for PayPal ^^), but cdkeys wasn't solving my issue with steam's Ghost Trick key. It's july 1st and order was still showing as pre-order, I sent two tickets to customer service with vague responses and no luck, so after paypal refund I've bought the game on steam. No idea if was pre-order bonus but this is what I'm worried about.
Not many games this month, I'm still saving for my new PC.

It's worth noting that MechWarrior and Battletech are not the same sort of games. The MechWarrior games are notionally sim games with on the ground combat focus. Whereas Battletech is a strategy game. Both are fun in their own way but don't do it n expecting continuity.

The MechWarrior franchise IMO was best with MW2 Mercenaries waaaaaay back when. Has a similar feel to Battletech. Running an outfit having to pay the bills, etc. But it is old. MW5 felt much more action-y than the older games and whether that's good or bad is just preference I guess.

I have no real interest in actually playing Ratchet but I'm very interested in a technological level. How will it deal if people just run it from HDD, does it just dump whole levels into RAM in that case? Maybe the planet entrances will be used for longer loading in those cases. What's the actual speed needed from ssd/nvme for it all work as designed, will they implement directstorage, with gpu decompression for the assets or just hammer your cpu like the spidey games, or maybe use less compressed assets that are easier to decompress without a dedicated chip doing the grunt work.

Very curious.

I'm busy with Diablo 4 and haven't finished ToTK yet, but these were decent deals. Except for Battlebit, but a highly rated early access game is always a good buy, right? Also culled a bunch of others from the wishlist without buying, which always feels great.

Great thread Mor, thank you so much! 🥰

I'm looking forward to Rachet & Clank, day 1 if the port is good. I also hope Remnants 2 will correct the design flaws of the first game. Especially the bosses spamming an endless amount of smaller enemies is annoying as f*ck.

Dave the Diver is doing big numbers on Steam and peaked at nearly 45k concurrent. I bought into the hype and played it about an hour on my Steam Deck. It seems fun, but I'm deep into Final Fantasy XVI right now so I'll return to it after I finish that game.

Such a shame GoG doesn't sell the Prey DLC alone, since everyone is gifting the base
:crying-face:


Was about to pull the trigger on a 7800X3D but apparently mobos are frying it? fucking hell
Just don't purchase Asus mobos.

Honestly I wish they'd made it not have multiplayer because I think they would have been way more open to craziness then.
Mmm interesting take,
I wonder what will they do because they tend to gave up on their games at random points.

I think it was only ASUS mobos cuz they overvolt... Also if you update the bios on those boards it voids your warranty. Cuz ASUS are being cunts about it.
They walked that back. Now they should have proper bios and warranty coverage.

Lol seems Google cloud contracts expired yesterday and Elon has not renewed the contract so seems the ones they have now cannot assume the traffic. It looks like it has nothing to do with bots, that’s the real reason behind that decision.
Elon doesn’t want to pay “the blue mark” to google and get verified : P.

Why did this clown even buy the company? There is so many better things to do with 40 billion dollars. He could have started his own gaming company making hardware/software. He could have built a fucking base on the moon and did so many interesting things.
Maybe I'm wrong but I bet this measure is denounceable by most twitter advertisers or companies that pay that yellow mark / square avatar since they changed the audience and terms. For sure this affect those companies. Would be nice he gets sued for this.

He got divorced and is going through a massive mid-life crisis. I think it's just to prove to himself how he's still the brilliant tech genius entrepreneur who can fix everything.
So it's basically a personal project, and he doesn't care how much money he burns to the ground.
